The greatest thing about vintage radios is the tremendous variety. I've been in the hobby for 35 years and still come across a set I don't recall ever seeing before! There's always that "next one" to add to your collection! I too collect vintage TV's, but the selection and styling choices are limited.
As far as advice, I'd say buy quality over quantity. I used to pass on say a classic set priced at $500, and then proceed to purchase 5 mediocre sets for $100 a piece over a short period of time. You find you'd be much more satisfied with that one great piece. Also, be knowledgeable about a set you purchase, or just pass on it. At this point in time vintage radios often have incorrect knobs, finishes, speakers, and even chassis'! You can end-up being very disappointed when you finally find that out. Lastly, buy what appeals to YOU, not what is the most popular, or vise-versa, don't pass on what collectors say is unpopular when it appeals to you.
